Don’t Follow Vanessa Hudgens’ Lead; Five Better Styles for Meeting Your Man’s Mom

We see Vanessa Hudgens’ relationship with Austin Butler is totally serious. It looks like the 23-year-old actress has been introduced to Austin’s mother as she had lunch at the Artisan Cheese gallery in Studio City California last Tuesday (April 24) with her beau and his mom.

What did Vanessa wear to the lunch? A white crochet top and a printed floor-length skirt. She accessorized with a Chanel classic flap bag, fringe booties, and round sunglasses.

While Vanessa didn’t look bad, we can’t say she was dressed to impress. Maybe it wasn’t her first time to meet his mom? Maybe she just loves the bohemian style so much?
